Best linux operating system

  • October 19, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using the Ubuntu operating system for a long time for doing all my development projects. The main reason is that it is free to download, and also lots of free apps are available. It's incredibly stable, suffers from no annoying pauses or unexpected crashes, and has a clean, attractive interface. It never strains or never more annoys. If your machine has even fewer resources, then lightweight versions of Ubuntu Linux distributions are available for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu has not got a user-friendly interface. The LibreOffice in-built software is not as good as Ms office. This lacks in solving or debugging minor problems as one needs to install a few extra packages, and it requires some effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use the try ubuntu feature, as it can run without installing i:e for testing. We can run it from a DVD or a Pen Drive, and hence it acts as a portable OS to be used on systems for which we are not sure about the security status. Its performance is also better than other operating systems, and it is free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this operating system for working in the best development environment with great support.

The only option for developers on PC

  • October 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a developer you can install your IDE, languages or server platforms-containerized or not - with a finger snap. Evrything is an apt-get install away.
Then, it's not difficult to go to cloud or to work remotely- Ubuntu is literally powering the internetz. So this is basically why teams at Google use Ubuntu Desktop for their work!
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could use some modernization- icons being too big for my liking - plus shipping more terminal alternatives, etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well for me it's the fastest way to get developers start woeking without caring about installing tools and dependencies- this solves productivity AND quality problems for us - all while being free,!

Excellent Server for web develop

  • October 11, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server over Ubuntu Desktop if you plan to run your server headless. Because the two Ubuntu types share a kernel, you can always add a GUI later. Also, Ubuntu Server is best for specific varieties of servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Also, compared to CentOS, it tends to be more unstable after software updates.

Performance. All things being equal, Ubuntu performs better than Windows since it requires fewer hardware resources and allows them to use for other fundamental tasks. However, some drivers can change that and make certain programs or video games behave a little better in Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We migrated from windows server 2016 to the ubuntu server to have more stability in the operation of our sales application. The web services always crashed in our windows server 2016, and we had to restarted daily
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have seen that Ubuntu is usually an option that deserves to be studied if you apply it to your hosting. We must bear in mind that as a Linux distribution, it receives excellent support from its documentation, community of developers in forums, mailing lists, and others. Ubuntu Server makes it the candidate for those who hire a server. It is ideal for those who know Linux Administration but want to have support or documentation to help them solve problems that may arise in the future.
